Can we predict the motor threshold and hotspot location prior to TMS?

Can we predict the response to cyclosporine?

Can we predict the unpredictable?

Time series forecasting is of fundamental importance for a variety of domains including the prediction of earthquakes, financial market prediction, and the prediction of epileptic seizures. We present an original approach that brings a novel perspective to the field of long-term time series forecasting. Nonlinear properties of a time series are evaluated and used for long-term predictions. We u...

Can We Predict Vulnerability to Poverty ?

There are alternative definitions of vulnerability to poverty. Most researchers prefer to define vulnerability as the probability of a household or individual falling into poverty in the future. Based on this definition and using household survey panel data from rural China, this paper attempt to assess the extent to which we can measure vulnerability to poverty. The assessment is based on comp...

Can We Predict Delivery Prior to Date of a Planned Elective Caesarean Section?

Objective: To document frequency and identify risk factors associated with early delivery in women who require caesarean section prior to their planned elective caesarean section date. Additionally, we compared the maternal and neonatal outcomes for those women booked for an elective caesarean section who did and who did not require delivery prior to their booked elective caesarean section (BEC...

Bubbles , Can We Spot Them ? Crashes , Can We Predict Them ?

Johansen and Sornette proposes that the crash has fundamentally an endogenous origin and exogenous shocks only serve as triggering factors. This endogenous force is shown in price as power law log-periodicity (PLLP) signature prior to a crash. We estimate the highly nonlinear model developed by them using a hybrid approach which combines scatter search, genetic adaptor and tabu search. The mode...
